Player Discussion Elias Pettersson, Pt. VII | Enjoys: Being Mr. Everything, pronouncing it "Peter-son"

[member 105785]

Cool, cool.

Don't ... uh ... don't pay any attention to that last name on the list there.

What a weird list of names

tkachuk pettersson shot - Streamable

 

[PuckMunchkin]

That is rough to watch.

 

[Scott Stevens]

@Etteduag ot Reseob is the third reaction in this video?

 

[Josepho]

imagine taking the hockey guy's insight seriously

 

[Zombotron]

That is rough to watch.

I will say this - if that one guy's prediction came true and Elias Pettersson was drafted by Tampa Bay, it would have set them up like the early-2000s Red Wings. That wouldn't have been fair whatsoever

 

[Melvin]

What a weird list of names

Yeah, kinda. Vrbata and Seabrook got kinda lucky getting some secondary PP assists and such. Vrbata was playing with Sakic. Pettersson has been full value for his 5 points pretty much directly creating all 5 goals himself.

Daigle ... let's not talk about him.

 

[Josepho]

has NOT been on the ice for a goal against so far aside from the empty netters.

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

has NOT been on the ice for a goal against so far aside from the empty netters.

Hes also been on the ice for every goal that he has scored w. The canucks.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Easily the best player for the Canucks in literally every game he has played for them.

 

[SillyRabbit]

That’s “NHL scoring leader” Elias Pettersson thank you very much.

Hopefully something we can get used to saying often over the next several years.

you could sub "shift" for "game."

 

[ProstheticConscience]

you could sub "shift" for "game."

Yup.

Just happy theres something, as a Canucks fan, to be really really proud of again. Something not all teams have. Feels good.

[Grub]

Could we see a 90 point season out of him? I mean... the guy is dynamic on the PP and he is only going to get better. None of his offensive contribution have been fluky, it's been a direct result of his talent.

 

[F A N]

Oh man. I just hope he manages to stay healthy. He is just so special.

I think the Canucks have found their #1C.

My thoughts exactly. It's been a very long road. I do not support Benning, but you gotta give credit where it's due. He nailed it with this pick, he went against the consensus. Most of us here wanted either Vilardi or Glass.

I wanted Pettersson so I guess that must mean I'm just as smart as Jimbo.

Wait a minute....

 

[lakers11]

Screw this, Im going for it. 90 points rookie season here we come!

 

[Grub]

Screw this, Im going for it. 90 points rookie season here we come!

Me too, count me in the 90 point rookie season club.

If last year is any indication, the kid learns the game fast and he’ll only get better as the season progresses. Green better give him top ice time.

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

I don't have any stats to back it up, but my impression is that rookies tend to cool off significantly in the 2nd half of the season due to not being used to the amount of games and the travel. I'd say 65-70 points is the most realistic expectation, so 60 points in the next 80 games.

His scouts nailed it. Jim was trying to trade up for a Dman like Makar. He really wanted an offensive Dman. So Heiskanen looks great, Makar yet to be tested. May have turn out fine.

If he hits 90 surrounded by this team of duds and never weres, he will get the Calder, the Hart, and they might as well throw in the Norris and Conn Smythe even with the Canucks missing the playoffs.
